Call for crackdown on cyberbullying

BY DAISY HUDSON

Recipes stand test of time P16

A local lawyer has called for a crackdown on cyberbullies after a child was named and shamed by adults on Facebook.

A post on an Ashburton-based Facebook group sparked a heated discussion online over the weekend after a parent posted the name and age of a child that had allegedly bullied their son.

The post prompted a flurry of comments both supporting and slamming the move.

While there are legal avenues that can be pursued against online defamation and harassment, for Ashburton lawyer Greg Martin the issue is more of a moral one.

“The law probably isn’t as strong as it should be, in terms of protecting people from being victimised by that kind of malicious behaviour,” he said.

“Ultimately New Zealand is supposed to be a fair and just society and if you say something about somebody on Facebook, the other person is often not getting the chance to respond.”

Mr Martin described bullying on social media as “the law of the jungle”, which he believes does not have any place in a civilised society.

He said people needed to be aware that what they posted online could have consequences in the real world.

Local principals have also weighed in, saying they are disappointed the dispute ended up on social media.

Ashburton Intermediate School

principal Gavin Cooper said people may not realise the consequences of posting on social media.

He likened social media to a bathroom wall, as people could write things anonymously and without accountability.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said he could fully understand how parents were protective of their children, but posting online was not the right way to solve the issue.

“It clearly has the potential to make things much, much worse,” he said.

Kiwi’s big catch After a four-hour battle with a monster tuna, an exhausted Donna Pascoe didn’t need to be told she’d just hauled in a record-breaker. But she still didn’t expect her huge trophy Pacific bluefin tuna, weighing in at 411.6kg, to ultimately win an international plaudit. The fish, caught last year off the Three Kings Islands at the top of the North Island, was the largest caught by a female angler in New Zealand.

Now a panel of foreign judges have deemed the catch worthy of the prestigious Best World Record award, recently presented to the Auckland woman at the International Gamefish Association Awards in Florida. Ms Pascoe was blown away to have been chosen from more than 800 other candidates for the award, which covered the 2014 season and took a range of factors into account. Ms Pascoe spent hours in rough conditions stubbornly fighting to bring in the fish, which she at first figured was probably a huge blue or black marlin. It wasn’t until it was wrenched in closer to her 17m boat Gladiator that Ms Pascoe realised it was a Pacific bluefin tuna.

Edible ink The screen printing ink that Matt Lewis manufactures from his Whangarei print workshop is so eco-friendly he can eat it and not even grimace. While the plant-based ink might taste a little funky, and you certainly won’t see it added to the food pyramid any time soon, the ink has left Lewis with a sweet aftertaste. The Te Kowhai Print Trust board member, based at his Live to Print company at the Quarry Arts Centre, has scooped a national print award for the invention. It’s not an edible ink but to prove how safe it was for people and the environment, Lewis had no qualms in scooping a handful of the colourful goop and having a wee taste.

Netflix to release Pitt movie Brad Pitt’s next movie War Machine will be released exclusively on Netflix and in select theatres next year. The deal, which was announced yesterday (NZ time), is the latest by Netflix to bring original bigscreen productions directly to the online service rather than launching them only with traditional theatrical releases. “We are so excited to be a part of the inspiring commitment by Netflix to produce cutting-edge content and to deliver it to a global audience,” Pitt said. The movie, described as a provocative satirical comedy, tells the story of a “rock star” general whose lethal reputation and faultless track record catapults him to command the US war in Afghanistan.

“I’m humbled to be making a big, bold movie about the whole sprawling, complex, cumbersome and crazy machinery of modern war and the many lives it touches,” said director and writer David Michod. The film is based on the bestseller The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan by Michael Hastings.

A walking-powered cellphone charger may sound far fetched, but not to Taieri College pupil Karl Brinsdon. The 14-year-old, who received the inaugural Nidd Realty Youth Innovation Fund scholarship this week, planned to have the device up-and-running by the beginning of next month. The innovation, one of many in the pipeline for Karl, would be powered by voltage sent to the charger from discs placed in people’s shoes. The voltage would be triggered by vibrations of the disc, which was connected to the charger by wire. “I thought it would be a useful thing,” Karl said. “People are getting less fit and using technology a lot more, so I thought it would be a good way for people to be able to charge their phones while out exercising.” Karl will receive $2000 courtesy of the scholarship, and planned to use it for others’ benefit, rather than his own.

■ MT HUTT SKIFIELD

Hunt on for accommodation

By Caitlin Porter

He said earlier this week a self-contained unit became available on the page, but as of midday yesterday it hadn’t been snapped up.

Often as the season progressed, employees were able to sort out their accommodation and many returnees already had places to stay, he said.

“I don’t think it’s easy, put it that way, but it’s not impossible either.”

Rentals are always an option too.

Professionals Methven rental property manager Annie Dwyer said she receives a large number of requests for a place to stay from those new to the town.

At present there were not a lot of properties available, Ms Dwyer said.

The best thing to do, she said, was to keep in touch and be actively looking.

“I could have two or three more properties next week, I can’t envisage what will pop up.”

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Finding temporary accommodation in Methven during winter is no easy feat, says a new Mt Hutt Ski Area employee.

Sophie Ogden is one of the ski area’s latest recruits and said while she is happy to have scored a job working in administration, finding somewhere for her and her beloved dog to live has been tough.

“I thought it would be easy to find somewhere because it seems like quite a dog friendly place … but it’s a little bit of a struggle,” she said.

Ms Ogden has been couch surfing but was ideally looking for a spare room or cottage to let.

Backpackers were an option for many of the other new recruits she said, and a few had some pretty good deals.

Owner/operator of Big Tree Lodge Lee Wilson said he was already fully booked up, and winter has only just begun.

manager James Urquhart said he was not aware of anyone who was desperately struggling to find somewhere to live, but

suggested people be proactive.

“It’s like this every year, it’s nothing out of the norm for us,” he said.

Mr Urquhart said the ski area had an internal Facebook page which people could use to sort out a place to stay.

Pye sells off quarter share in Dairy Holdings

By MiChelle nelson

MiChelle.n@theguardian.Co.nz

Agribusiness entrepreneur Alan Pye has sold his share of Dairy Holdings.

Mr Pye said he had become disillusioned with the management of the mega dairy farm-owning company he started up in 2000. He held a 25 per cent shareholding, and was on the company’s board of directors.

Dairy Holdings began as a conglomeration of farms originally owned by Tasman Agriculture and later, Dairy Brand farms.

Over the past 15 years

the company has expanded, and now owns more than 50 farms in the South Island.

Mr Pye was critical of the company’s practice of expansion at the expense of production on the existing farms.

He owns other dairy farms in conjunction with his son Leighton, which produce up to 25 per cent more milk per hectare, at a lower cost, he said.

“We had two farms separated by a shingle road – one produced 1100kg (of milksolids) per hectare, and 1600kg per hectare on our

one. The costs per kilo per hectare were a lot less, because of the extra milk produced,” he said.

“They (Dairy Holdings) had a policy of keeping all the heifer calves, so when a neighbouring property came up they buy it up, convert it and stock it cheaply, rather than concentrating on lifting the production on the properties they already own by improving the genetic makeup of the herds,” he said.

Mr Pye settled with the company last spring, before the global milk price crashed.

“I’m pleased to be out of it,” he said.

In addition to his own dairy and arable farming interests in New Zealand, Mr Pye, whose fortunes began with a bag of spuds and a “row of noughts” in the Temuka district, has interests in the Central Plains Water scheme.

He also owns major vegetable growing and processing companies in South Australia and Tasmania in conjunction with his son Mark.

According to the National Business Review Rich List Mr Pye was worth $200 million last year.

The Harmful Digital Communications Bill would see a complaint handling agency established to resolve complaints about harmful digital communications.

It would also make it an offence to send messages and post material online that were intended to cause harm, and it would create a new offence of incitement to commit suicide, in situations where the person does not attempt to take their own life.

■ EUTHANASIA BILL

Concerns over safeguards

BY DAISY HUDSON

DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s two MPs have not ruled out supporting a voluntary euthanasia bill if the issue came down to a conscience vote.

However both Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and Selwyn MP Amy Adams expressed concerns over how any legislation would safeguard against exploitation.

Prime Minister John Key told reporters at a post Cabinet press conference that the Government’s starting position was that euthanasia, or assisted death, was a conscience issue that was a matter for individuals.

For any law to be passed a private member’s bill would have to be put before Parliament.

The issue of voluntary euthanasia is particularly personal for Ms Adams, whose moth-

Amy Adams

Jo Goodhew

er recently passed away.

“My views are coloured by having very recently watched my mother go through a very long and painful death, and her frustration at her control being non-existent,” she said.

“There was nothing further that could be done, there was no doubt that she was terminal, and it was just a question

of how that process worked for her.” She did not have any strong idealogical opposition to some sort of euthanasia provision, but she needed convincing over adequate safeguards in any legislation.

“My concern is how do you legislate in a way that protects those who are, maybe it’s a more questionable diagnosis,

perhaps it’s not a terminal condition but one they find difficult to live with, perhaps they’re not able to express their own views, so how do you protect against the vulnerable being taken advantage of or being exploited under those provisions,” she said.

Ms Goodhew also had a personal connection with the issue, given her background in nursing.

She wanted to be sure any legislation was written in such a way that prevented elderly people from being encouraged by family to choose euthanasia before they felt ready to die.

She said she had not supported euthanasia bills in the past as she had never seen any legislation that contained those safeguards.

The controversial issue has already seen Ms Goodhew receiving varied feedback from her constituents.

Sir Peter Williams succumbs to cancer Respected and sometimes controversial New Zealand lawyer Sir Peter Williams has died.

The 80-year-old Queen’s Counsel, who has battled with prostate cancer for almost a decade, died at his Auckland home last evening.

His wife Heeni Phillips said he died about 6.30pm last night surrounded by friends and family in their Ponsonby home.

She said it would be difficult to come to terms with his passing.

“We had some wonderful times together.”

She said Peter’s children were at the house with her, as well as some mutual friends.

“We’re sort of shocked because we didn’t expect him to go downhill so quickly.

Sir Peter Williams QC

“He has had blood transfusions, two or three of them, and the last one was last Tuesday at Auckland Hospital and then when he came home he was just losing more and more strength and so he’s been in bed since last Tuesday.”

Sir Peter was one of New Zealand’s most respected legal minds and a prison reform campaigner.

He was never battle-shy, having fought for his clients in the courtroom for 60 years, and campaigned for prisoner rights.

The QC was made a knight companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to law in the New Year Honours.

Sir Peter, who has conducted more than 100 murder trials over his career, said he felt “very humbled” and “very privileged” by the honour.

He received his knighthood early, at a special ceremony in April at his Ponsonby home, due to his ailing health.

Since being admitted to the bar in 1960, Sir Peter cam-

paigned tirelessly for prisoner rights, advocating for decent conditions during incarceration, rehabilitation and addressing the causes of crime.

Sir Peter took on clients in some of New Zealand’s most significant trials, including Arthur Allan Thomas, Terry “Mr Asia” Clark, and in the Bassett Rd machine-gun murders case.

Sir Peter, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006, said he felt it was his duty to represent those who wanted his services.

Phillips said Sir Peter obviously knew he was going today because he called those who had not been to see him.

“Like our two dogs, who came on to the bed and sat with him and myself.”

In brief Scan results awaited Injured Ashburton man Paul Sinclair was waiting for the results from another MRI scan in a Darwin hospital yesterday, before a decision is made as to when he will fly home. Paul was airlifted to Darwin with a broken back on Sunday, following an explosion on a ferry in Bali on Friday. His parents, Allan and Mary Sinclair, were expecting to hear when he would be home yesterday, however Queen’s Birthday celebrations in Australia put paid to that.

Mt Hutt ski area Mid Canterbury’s notorious nor’west wind has struck with a vengeance at Mt Hutt just as the ski area is gearing up for opening.

Manager James McKenzie said late yesterday that winds throughout the day had taken away 10 to 15 centimetres off its snow base. Precipitation was forecast for today, and with lowering temperatures it was hoped this would fall as snow, which he estimated could measure as much as 15 centimetres. Additionally, snowmaking would be able to come back on stream with lowering temperatures later in the week. The ski area’s opening date remains Friday, and Mr McKenzie said staff were going well in training. “Everything else, apart from what we can’t control, is going really well,” Mr McKenzie said.

The quake was felt around Central Otago, according to user reports on the GeoNet website.

Weihai - sister city links strengthened Aoraki Polytechnic will further strengthen educational ties between the two sister cities – Timaru and Weihai – and have positive spinoffs for regional development as a key exhibitor at the Weihai China International Food Expo later this month.

Representatives from the polytechnic and the Timaru District Council will form a delegation to attend the event, which attracts 650 stands and 150,000 people.

Polytechnic chief executive Alex Cabrera said the polytechnic has also been invited to join China’s hospitality and tourism group, Jian Guo Ltd, to host a New Zealand food-related festival in one of its hotels the week leading up to the food expo.

This will include hospitality demonstrations, offshore training, a special sister city mayoral banquet, and the launch of a student internship programme to send Aoraki students to study and work in China.

Cabrera said the event would be an opportunity to promote Aoraki Polytechnic and our region.

The trip follows last year’s very successful visit to Weihai. The invitation to exhibit at the food expo was a direct result of that trip.

The visit also sparked an initiative which sees the polytechnic offer off-shore training in China, and two-month internships for New Zealand students in Weihai.

Cabrera said Aoraki was an emerging provider of international education, and attracting students from China was a main focus.

Aoraki had implemented several initiatives to strengthen regional and education ties with China. In the past year the polytechnic has run Mandarin language classes, opened the Timaru Confucius Institute Resource Centre, and hosted several delegations of Chinese visitors.

A group of 40 students are proposed to come to New Zealand from Weihai in February next year on a short-stay programme.

■ TRUSTPOWER COMMUNITY AWARDS

In brief

Recipient an inspiration

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When it comes to a role model for young people, they don’t get much bigger than Aira Alombro.

On Monday night the Mt Hutt College Year 13 student was presented with Trustpower’s Youth Spirit award for her contributions both to her school and to the community.

Aira’s father arrived in New Zealand in 2008 to work on a dairy farm, her mother came the following year and one year later Aira arrived with her younger brother and older sister. She still remembers the feeling of being a stranger in a country where very few people spoke her language.

“When you first arrive, it’s a new environment and you sometimes don’t feel you’re part of the community.

“When I arrived I was in Year 8 and people at Mt Hutt were really nice but making friends wasn’t easy because everything was so new,” she said.

And remembering that feeling prompted her to become an advocate for other new arrivals.

She has established a club where Filipino youngsters can be involved in activities that will get them out into their new community.

Five years down the track, Aira is very much a Kiwi. She’s football mad, both playing and coaching and she’s committed to achieving at the top level at school and has her eye on

Ashes warning The Rotorua Fire Brigade is reminding residents of the importance of being vigilant when disposing of fireplace ash after a deck caught fire. Two fire crews were called to the deck fire in Pukehangi yesterday, just before 8am. Rotorua Fire Service station officer Geoff Carter said the fire was started by a pile of ashes disposed in a cardboard box. “It is important for people to remind themselves that ashes can take several days to cool down and if they are not disposed of properly, they do pose a serious fire hazard.

starting study towards a bachelor of commerce next year.

Her family moved to New Zealand for their children, for a better education and better opportunities, but there are times when Aira misses the Philippines.

“New Zealand is such a great place and the only reason I’d like to go back is to visit family, to see my grandparents again,” she said.

Winning the Youth Spirit award came as a total surprise, Aira said.

“It was a great feeling, it’s something I never expected.”

As well as a trophy Aira received $250 which she donated

to the Filipino Youth Committee. The other big winners on Monday night were the Ashburton District’s rural firefighters who walked away with the supreme award, $1500, a trophy and a place in next year’s national community awards finals in Dunedin.

That small trophy will be proudly doing the rounds of Ashburton’s 10 rural fire forces over the coming months while the $1500 in prize money will be added to their welfare fund.

This was established to provide a pool of money to help families of firefighters injured or killed while on duty.

The win came as a surprise

to both the firefighters and the council’s emergency services manager Don Geddes.

It was a great recognition of the voluntary work 180 people did for their district, giving up a huge amount of their personal and family time to be part of a rural unit, Mr Geddes said.

“We’re grateful to their employers for that and if they’re self-employed and take time out of the business then they lose out. It’s an amazing commitment to be available 24 seven.

“I know they get a huge amount of satisfaction out of knowing they’re making a difference in their communities.”

Huntly Police are appealing for information after a woman was sexually assaulted while walking through a local reserve overnight Monday. She managed to fight the man off and run for help, after he grabbed her while she was making her way through the north end of the reserve between James Henry Cres and Rosser St about 12.30am.

Acting Detective Sergeant Scott Neilson said the attack happened after the woman had walked a friend home. Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the assault or was in the area about the same time overnight.

Metal ball a pig The rusty metal ball unearthed from the Grey River shingle pit near Kaiata has been identified – and it is not of an explosive nature, but a device used in old coalmines.

Former coalminer Les Mathieson identified the mystery object, uncovered by Westroads worker Chris Chamberlain. “As soon as I saw the paper I said ‘I know what that thing is – it’s a pig which was used in the old Blackball Mine’,” Mr Mathieson said. Miners used the metal balls to clear the water pipes in the mine. The water in the mine was very acidic and built up deposits in the pipes.

■ JERRY COLLINS’ DEATH

Grandparents arrive at baby Ayla’s hospital bedside The grandparents of baby Ayla Collins have arrived at her bedside – as tributes, donations and even artistic offerings continue to pour in for her dead parents.

Former All Black Jerry Collins and his partner Alana Madill were killed when their car was hit by a bus on a motorway near Beziers in southern France last Friday.

The pair’s death has orphaned their 4-month-old daughter, Ayla, who suffered serious injuries in the crash and remains in a serious condition in a Montpellier hospital in France.

Ms Madill’s parents have now arrived at the hospital to be with their granddaughter as she receives treatment.

Friends and family of the couple, including Madill’s sister, are already by the girl’s side, French newspaper L’Independent said.

The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of support in New Zealand and abroad, with some taking a unique approach to fundraising.

Havelock North artist Aaron Jenkins picked up a pencil and started sketching when he heard about the deaths.

It took 14 hours of steady work to create the photo-perfect image of Jerry Collins using graphite, carbon and tinted charcoal on paper.

He posted the work on Trade Me, with proceeds donated to an account set up in baby Ayla’s name.

“When I heard about the baby it really pulled on my heart strings – I have got two girls of my own,” Mr Jenkins said.

“I got 150 new likes on my Facebook, it’s been pretty quiet lately. I never expected this at-

tention, it’s not why I did this.”

The listing went live at 10pm on Sunday and had received more than 38,000 views and a $2530 top bid last night.

The account for baby Ayla on fundraising site Givealittle has now exceeded its target of $25,000.

Last night, more than 530 people had donated and $28,399 had been pledged.

A close friend of Ms Madill has also paid tribute to a woman she says was an “exceptionally vibrant person”.

Canadian woman Jessica Hartwell said friends of Ms Madill wanted to pay tribute by celebrating her life, she said.

She said Ms Madill was “so, so, so loved”.

“I know that a lot of people might say that about people that have passed, but she really was.

She made friends wherever she went, she lit up a room,” Ms Hartwell said.

“She had a big personality and a big energy and she was really giving and really generous and would really go out of her way for people, even if she didn’t know them.”

Ms Hartwell said she had not spoken to Ms Madill’s family since the tragic accident but she understood her friend’s body would be returned to Canada.

A New Zealand representative of the embassy in Paris has arrived in Montpellier to speed up the repatriation of Collins’ body, which was being held up by paperwork.

His relatives said details of the rugby great’s final farewell would be known within the next few days, as members of the former All Black’s extended family

began to arrive in Wellington from Samoa.

A funeral is expected to be held in Porirua.

An uncle said the family was very thankful to France-based All Blacks Chris Masoe and Neemia Tialata who helped to formally identify Collins and dress him for his journey home.

Auntie Julia Collins told the Samoa Observer she learnt of her nephew’s tragic death through a news bulletin on television.

“We had just finished our evening prayer when we turned on the television and that was the first thing on the bulletin.

“The sad thing about his death – he was too young. Not only that, he has died so far away from his family. I still cannot believe that he’s gone.”

■ HINDS DRAINS

Project enhances biodiversity

BY KATE SPENCE Small drains set to make a big difference to fish habitats in the Hinds District.

Work has been completed to enhance the biodiversity of two man-made drains in the Eiffelton District.

Central South Island Fish & Game officer Mark Webb yesterday completed placing rocks at intervals along Surveyors Road drains to improve habitat for fish and invertebrates.

The drains have been part of co-operative water systems for local farms for decades.

Mr Webb walked along the 70km length of the Hinds drains last winter observing that they were too uniform in gradient and width to support healthy aquatic environments.

The boulders will make these drains more habitable for native and introduced fish, by diversifying the river

habitat. This is a simple solution to enhance biodiversity.

This project also helps to meet cultural requirements to provide for mahinga kai – indigenous freshwater species that have traditionally been used as food.

The project was funded by the Ashburton Zone Committee’s Immediate Steps biodiversity fund.

The Hinds Drains Working Group recieved $5400 to implement it.

The project, which has taken Mr Webb eight months to plan, has been completed in just 24 hours, over the past two days.

The project is considered a long-term solution, and fish would be monitored annually to observe results.

Mr Webb said the project complemented with the working party’s philosophy: “The locals know best, leave it up to the locals to sort their own problems and they’ll find a solution.”

Central South Island Fish and Game Officer Mark Webb looks at his handiwork in the Windermere drain.

■ DUNEDIN DISTRICT COURT

Tourist jailed for crash death

By TimoThy Brown No sentence will be enough to “bring our Ruby back”, the Marris family says after the tourist responsible for the 5-year-old’s death was jailed for 18 months.

Ruby Jay Marris was killed when Chinese national Jing Cao, 32, crossed the centre line, in his rented Ford Ranger on State Highway 1 near Moeraki on February 21, and smashed into the Marris family’s station wagon.

Following Cao’s emotional sentencing in the Dunedin District Court yesterday, Ruby’s parents Tristan and Kimberley told media the Government needed to toughen regulations around the leasing of rental cars.

“Today Mr Cao has received his sentence, but it doesn’t matter what it is, as nothing will bring our Ruby back,” a statement from the couple said.

“This was an unnecessary accident and the New Zealand government needs to regulate the hiring and licensing of all rental vehicles to overseas tourists.

“We do not want any more families to have to go through the pain and suffering we have been through. Urgent action needs to be taken.”

Cao was jailed for 18 months

by Judge Kevin Phillips for dangerous driving causing the death of Ruby and was given nine months’ jail on each count of dangerous driving causing injury to the Marris’ family car’s other four occupants and his own mother, a passenger in his rented Ranger. The sentences will be served concurrently.

Judge Phillips also ordered Cao to pay emotional harm reparation to the Marris family of

$27,500 and further reparations of $34,390.

Earlier the court heard Mr Marris’ moving and painfully emotional victim impact statement.

Mr Marris placed a photograph of Ruby in front of Cao before detailing how the tourist had “cut short such a wee beautiful girl’s life”.

The family was returning from an “exciting” day shopping in Dunedin to their home in Oamaru, when Mr Marris came over the brow of a hill near Moeraki about 4.50pm and found Cao driving towards him on the wrong side of the road.

Cao had travelled more than 1300km from Auckland in the four days before the crash.

After stopping at the Moeraki Boulders to take photographs, Cao drove the four-wheel drive on to State Highway 1 and about 450m down the road crossed the centre line.

He travelled about another 450m before ploughing into the Marris’ family car.

Ruby died at the scene and her parents, Tristan and Kimberley, suffered serious injuries.

The Marris’ two other children Georgia, 9, and Sophie, 7, suffered moderate injuries.

The injured family members were taken to Dunedin Hospital.

“I wake up thinking about her.

I go to bed thinking about her and the guilt you have caused me because it was my idea to go down to Dunedin to shop that day,” Mr Marris told Cao – who was accompanied by a Mandarin translator – in court.

“I know you can’t understand me, but you can tell the expression on my face and the emotion in my voice as I read this to you.”

Green light for cannabis use A teenager in an induced coma in Wellington Hospital will be administered medicinal cannabis after Government approval on compassionate grounds.

Alex Renton, a 19-year-old Nelson man, has been in hospital since early April. He is in “status epilepticus”, a kind of prolonged seizure.

His family have been seeking an alternative treatment after conventional medicines failed to help the man.

Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne yesterday approved on compassionate grounds the one-off use of Elixinol, a cannabis product from the United States to be administered by doctors at the

hospital. Mr Dunne said that despite the absence of clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of Elixinol, a cannabidiol (CBD) product in patients with Mr Renton’s condition status epilepticus, “my decision relies on the dire circumstances and extreme severity of Mr Renton’s individual case”.

“I have considerable sympathy for the family of Mr Renton who face an incredibly difficult situation.

“Understandably they want to do the best for their son, and they believe that this option is worth trying.

“I have also considered the absence of any other treatment options, the low risk of

significant adverse effects, and the conclusion reached by the hospital ethics committee from an individual patient perspective.

“Ministerial approval in this case does not extend beyond Mr Renton’s application and should in no way be construed as setting a wider precedent,” he said.

Mr Dunne said the advice he has received was that there remained a lack of clinical evidence supporting the use of CBD products in sufferers of Mr Renton’s condition.

“I hope for a positive outcome for Mr Renton and his family,” Mr Dunne said.

■ QUARRY ACCIDENT

■ HYMN WORKSHOP

‘A great bloke’

Hymns changing with the times

Digger driver Murray Taylor, who was buried in a mammoth quarry landslide, has been remembered as a great bloke after hopes of finding him alive faded yesterday.

The 56-year-old man was buried beneath a 1500-tonne landslide when an overhanging cliff face gave way at Heathstock Haulage quarry in north Canterbury on Monday.

Inspector Corrie Parnell from Canterbury police said rescuers were hopeful they would reach Mr Taylor’s body before darkness fell last night and would potentially work into the night.

The search for Mr Taylor, an owner of Heathstock Haulage, was now a recovery operation.

Mr Taylor’s digger cab had sustained a “catastrophic collapse” when the cliff collapsed, Mr Parnell said.

Some of the rocks that came down the cliff weighed 15 tonnes.

The Taylor family was “understandably distraught” but it was advantageous to have them on site yesterday to see the magni-

tude of the operation, Mr Parnell said.

Mr Taylor was a life-long North Canterbury man, living at nearby Balcairn with his wife Jill.

The family said in a statement that Mr Taylor was a much loved husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend.

He had left for work as usual on Monday “to do a job he thoroughly enjoyed”, they said.

Colin Campbell, a former boss of the limestone quarry, visited the quarry just last week “for old time’s sake”.

He remembers looking at the spot almost exactly where the slip happened, and even at the time, thought the overhanging rock face did not look secure.

Mr Campbell said Mr Taylor was “a great fella to everybody”.

“He’d help out anybody if he could. The whole family are bloody good people,” he said.

There had been multiple brushes with death at the site, including one Mr Campbell had been caught in himself.

Hymn writing is an art which is centuries old, but the hymns themselves are changing as writers incorporate issues of the modern age.

New Zealand hymn writer and composer Colin Gibson, who will be conducting a workshop to introduce new hymns at the Sinclair Centre on Saturday, said yesterday that those issues were many.

“They have so many issues that the old hymn writers never had to think about,” Mr Gibson said.

In the age of Charles Wesley, for instance, the great English hymn writer of the 18th century, there was no notion that the environment could be under threat from humans.

“We have learned a bit of truth about that, that goes along with care for plants and creatures, we need to be singing about that,” Mr Gibson said.

Additionally, in days of old, there had been less tolerance for those of other faiths and cultures, and only one view of how the world was created - by an all-encompassing god in six days.

“Those modern hymns need to reflect that huge change in our perception.”

St Andrew’s Church is holding the workshops, 4.30pm to 6pm and 7pm to 8.30pm, both on Saturday, but organisers are hoping to attract participants of all denominations.

In brief Cat a refugee A cat which accompanied her owner across the desert from Sudan to Libya and then on a migrant boat to Italy has been taken into quarantine on the island of Lampedusa after authorities promised to reunite the pair, La Repubblica daily reported. The paper said the black and white cat, named Lola, was rescued with her owner by a British patrol boat after evading border controls and migrant traffickers during the months-long journey hidden in a travelling bag. TV footage on La Repubblica’s website showed aid workers calming the distraught owner, identified only as Sama, after she had disembarked and Lola was held back for health reasons. The mayor of Lampedusa Giusy Nicolini and the island’s doctor Pietro Bartolo intervened to save the cat, which would otherwise probably have been thrown into the sea to drown, La Repubblica said.

Murder indictment

Troops advance against IS Iraqi troops backed by Shiite militias recaptured key parts of the northern refinery town of Beiji from the Islamic State group, a general said.

The commander of the Interior Ministry’s Quick Reaction Forces, Brig. Gen. Nassir al-Fartousi, told state TV that the Iraqi flag was raised over a local government building in Beiji and that troops were advancing to other areas, without elaborating.

The spokesman of Joint Operations Command, Brig. Gen. Saad Maan Ibrahim, said the security forces “are now controlling” the downtown Beiji area, describing the advance as an “important victory.”

“The enemy has suffered a defeat and has sustained heavy losses and we hope that the whole city will be cleared within few days,” Maan told The Associated Press in a brief interview, saying “dozens” of IS militants had been killed.

There was no word on the fate of the contested refinery on the town’s outskirts, but Maan said the capture of Beiji would help Iraqi forces to better secure the nearby Beiji refinery — Iraq’s largest oil refining facility and key to the country’s domestic supplies.

Beiji, some 250 kilometres north of Baghdad, fell to the extremist IS group during its blitz across northern Iraq near-

ly a year ago, but the refinery facility has remained contested ground with IS militants and government forces battling for control. The town is also strategically significant as it lies on the road to IS-held Mosul.

Iraqi and Kurdish forces have managed to roll back the IS group in many parts of the country with the help of USled airstrikes, and recaptured the northern city of Tikrit in April. But last month the IS group scored a major victory by capturing Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province.

The IS group has declared an Islamic caliphate in the territories it controls in Syria and Iraq, and has used oil smug-

gling to finance much of its operations.

In neighbouring Syria, the US-led coalition carried out airstrikes against IS positions in the northern town of Souran, which the IS group captured last week from Syrian rebel groups and members of al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, the Nusra Front.

The Local Co-ordination Committees and the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes occurred Saturday night. The Observatory said the airstrikes killed eight IS members, including a local Syrian commander, and wounded 20.

It didn’t take long for a grand jury to indict a white former city policeman for murder in the shooting death of a black man who tried to flee from a traffic stop. State investigators presented the case against former North Charleston officer Michael Slager to a Charleston County grand jury and prosecutor Scarlett Wilson announced the indictment a few hours later. The killing inflamed a national debate about how black people are treated by white police officers.

Riot death sentences A criminal court in Egypt’s coastal city of Port Said has sentenced 11 people to death over a 2012 soccer riot that left more than 70 dead and several hundreds injured. yesterday’s verdict came at the end of the retrial of 73 defendants in a case that sparked deadly riots in 2013 in Port Said, prompting then-President Mohammed Morsi to declare a state of emergency in the city. Also yesterday, the court sentenced 40 defendants to up to 15 years in prison and acquitted the rest. The verdicts can be appealed. The February 2012 riot began at the end of a league match in Port Said between alAhly and home side el-Masry. - AP

OUR VIEW

Let them grieve Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

t is distasteful that the probable death of a North Canterbury quarryman morphed into a debate about quarry practice and workplace safety laws as rescue teams struggled to find the victim.

There is no doubt workplace safety is top-of-mind for those advocating workers’ rights and cutting costs for small businesses, but politics sit uncomfortably beside what happened near Waikari.

Turning a tragedy into an example of all that is wrong with workplace health and safety is sensible if true, but alienating and counterproductive if done before the facts are identified and proven.

Advocates urged tougher regulations as police yesterday searched the rubble for the body of Murray Taylor, the digger driver buried under falling rocks at the Heathstock Haulage quarry.

Friends described a muchloved husband and father who was respected by his community and who was always willing to lend a hand. They wanted to know what happened but first, they wanted to grieve.

WorkSafe New Zealand issued a prohibition notice stopping all quarrying on the site as investigators prepared to try and find out how and why Mr Taylor was buried. By last night, much remained unknown.

Equally, it was known this was the third serious quarrying incident in New Zealand this year, a pattern primed for politics.

Council of Trade Unions boss Helen Kelly said quarries could be as dangerous as mines and that they should have been included in safety changes after the Pike River mine disaster.

Labour’s labour relations spokesman said the Government gave in to lobbying by the quarry industry to exempt them from regulation.

Certainly, it makes little sense that extractive industries should be treated so differently, but it is difficult to see how anything other than politics is served by linking a fresh tragedy with regulation.

The developing situation in North Canterbury happened as the spotlight shone on stalled health and safety legislation – but the link is tenuous until an investigation says otherwise.

YOUR VIEW Voluntary euthanasia Gerald Jacobson (Voluntary euthanasia, Your View, June 8) has obviously not watched a loved one robbed of their personality, dignity and life to that wicked cruel disease called dementia.

I have witnessed it first-hand and to see them waste away to a vegetative state with no response at all is awful.

It is not living it is merely an existence.

I, for one, definitely don’t want to live like that and should have that right to say so whilst of sound mind.

People have the right to say no to resuscitation, is there really a difference?

N. Lowe Gerald Jacobson, your thoughts got me a little irritated.

CRUMB

I personally think that [voluntary] euthanasia should be allowed and yes there are grey areas that will need to be sorted before it can be brought in.

I’m not sure if you have sat and watched a loved one die, [but] I have.

It is not something I would want to repeat ever, but know that won’t be the case. I will have to do it again!

My father died very slowly and in a lot of pain, his quality of life was gone and his dignity too. He was a proud man!

If I could have upped his morphine I would have and I did look at the machine administering it to him many times.

I even told him [that] if I could I would end it for him.

He told me before he couldn’t talk anymore he was pleased he was christened and that he was going to heaven.

by David Fletcher

Palliative care is good here, but not that great as you state, taking into it that you haven’t been through something like that before.

The nurses that looked after dad were lovely, but also very busy.

Life is hard enough when you are alive and the hand it can deal you, let alone when you are dying – think about that.

We get all upset when people let animals suffer.

Don’t most of us have them euthanised because that’s the right thing to do? And if you are cruel to animals and allow suffering, you can be charged and go to prison.

Each person suffering is different, some [are] worse than others, you need to remember that and that doctors and nurses can not always make it go away.

I have told my children “please don’t let me suffer”.

They asked [me] why [and] I [told them that] my memories of my father are off him dying and not of the good times growing up.

I cannot get the pictures of him sick out of my head.

I want my children to remember me for the person I was, not the sick and slowly-dying heap that he was. The person I knew as my father had gone long before he died.

There was just a shell of a man who didn’t even resemble the man he was. And he no longer wanted to be on this earth anymore.

Just so you know, my father was a Catholic and so am I. A little food for thought Gerald Jacobson.

ocal Government Minister Paula Bennett established the Rules Reduction Taskforce in 2014.

She set the taskforce up “to get rid of loopy property rules and regulations that are stopping people from getting on with the job”.

The taskforce has 11 members. It is co-chaired by Jacqui Dean MP for Waitaki and Parliamentary Private Secretary for Local Government, and Michael Barnett ONZM, chief executive of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce.

It is seeking submissions from the public on specific rules and regulations that don’t make sense and impact directly on properties and businesses.

The taskforce is hearing frustrations about a broad range of regulations, starting from ‘A’ with the Animal Welfare Act 1999, and moving through the statutes until you get to ‘W’ and the Walking Access Act 2008.

A lot of the submissions made so far focus on the costs and time involved in applying for consents (both building and resource consents); the difficulties getting clear information about what is required to carry out regulated activities (such as building or subdividing); inconsistency of requirements between different regulations; and changes in rules that can make it difficult for businesses to operate with certainty.

The Ashburton District Council, like many other councils, will be making a submission. Our focus will be on central government regulation that creates problems for us in its implementation.

ern the way in which councils operate.

I had a look at Local Government New Zealand’s draft submission, which says: “The immense scale and impact of this regulatory framework, which has shown almost exponential growth over recent years, has created a complex decision making environment that has had dramatic effects on the cost of local government and its culture …”

One example from the LGNZ submission of an unnecessary cost is: “The pre-election report (LGA2002) The pre-election report was introduced in 2010 to provide voters with summarised financial information to inform their voting decisions.

It became mandatory for all councils prior to the 2013 elec-

tions. The LGA amendment 2012 required that councils prepare and publish prudent financial benchmarks annually.

The information provided by the benchmarks is more accessible and meaningful than the information provided by the pre-election reports. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the preelection reports had little to no impact on the 2013 elections and were also used by some councils as promotional documents.

Solution: Remove the requirement for a pre-election report.”

It costs around $20,000 of time and effort to produce the pre-election report every three years.

So if it’s unnecessary it would be nice to redirect that time and effort into something that was more important.

■ AVIATION PROFITS

Profits on upwards flight path

BY GRANT BRADLEY Airline profits are expected to almost double this year to $US29.3 billion ($NZ41.15b) – amounting to $US8.27 ($NZ11.61) per passenger carried.

The strong results are a result of improved global economic prospects, record load factors, lower fuel prices, and the appreciation of the US dollar.

On expected revenue of $US727 billion ($NZ1021 billion), the industry would achieve a 4 per cent net profit margin.

The figures were unveiled at the International Air Transport Association annual meeting in Miami, where director general

Tony Tyler said stark differences remained in regional economies, which are also reflected in airline performance.

“The industry’s fortunes are far from uniform. Many airlines still face huge challenges,” Tyler said.

More than half the global profit is expected to come from airlines based in North America ($US15.7 billion).

For North American airlines, the margin on earnings before interest and taxation is expected to exceed 12 per cent, more than double that of the next best performing regions of Asia-Pacific and Europe.

“For the airline business, 2015 is turning out to be a positive

year. Since the tragic events of September 2001, the global airline industry has transformed itself with major gains in efficiency. This is clearly evident in the expected record high passenger load factor of 80.2 per cent for this year.”

Across the Asia-Pacific the slowdown in the Chinese economy has also had a dampening impact on profitability.

However, demand was expected to grow at a healthy 8.1 per cent, slightly ahead of the 7.7 per cent forecast growth in capacity.

“Lower fuel costs will help but the stronger dollar reduces the benefit in this region,” IATA said.

Here Air New Zealand is on track for a strong full-year result after announcing a 20 per cent increase in interim normalised earnings before taxation to a record $216 million. The airline’s shares last month hit a seven-year high.

Qantas – benefiting from lower fuel costs – turned around heavy losses in the first half of this year, reporting a surplus of $367 million compared to $252

million pre-tax loss in the same period the year before.

Tyler said global profits needed to be kept in perspective.

“Apple, a single company, earned $US13.6 billion in the second quarter of this year.

That’s just under half the expected full-year profit of the entire airline industry. We don’t begrudge anyone their business success. But it is important for our stakeholders, particularly governments, to understand that the business of providing global connectivity is still a very tough one,” Tyler said.

The association is pushing for deeper partnerships with governments based on global standards in the critical areas of safety, infrastructure, security, regulation and environment.

Tyler said governments seemed to be losing faith in a basic principle of commerce _ that businesses become successful by pleasing customers.

“Many regulators are adopting passenger rights regimes _ some of which come close to dictating product design and marketing,” he said. “Worse, there is no international co-ordination.

When things go wrong, passengers need clarity, not confusion.”

■ OPINION

Be sure to follow a fair process

F

ailing to follow a fair process has seen the operators of an online gaming business pay $9000 compensation to a sacked worker.

In May last year, a fellow worker at GL Futures Development reported Ms Zhang and two other employees had taken too long in their dinner break.

The company also said Ms Zhang had jeopardised the company’s reputation by “rudeness and ill-treatment” of customers.

GL said they doubted Ms Zhang’s credibility because her “conduct and conversation did not demonstrate to the company that you are apologetic and sorry for what you did”. GL said her behaviour led to a loss of trust and confidence in her as an employee. She was dismissed for serious misconduct.

Employment Relations Authority member Robin Arthur said in his decision the company had “multiple failures in

meeting minimum standards of fairness”.

Ms Zhang was not provided with the information the company had gathered and relied on its disciplinary investigation meaning she could not properly consider and comment on it.

There was disparity of treatment with two other workers late back from the same dinner break who were given warnings but not dismissed.

Ms Zhang did not get a ‘real and purposeful hearing’ by all the people who made the decision. As it turned out, the decision makers were in Hong Kong and read the investigation

reports however Ms Zhang did not have the opportunity of speaking to them.

Prior to and in preparation for her investigation meetings the company never put to Ms Zhang that her employment could be terminated as a possible outcome of the investigation.

Member Arthur found that being 10 minutes late back from a break on a single occasion was not what a fair and reasonable employer could have concluded as being serious misconduct.

Ms Zhang was awarded lost wages of $8294 and distress compensation of $9000.

As always the lesson here is the importance of following a sound and fair process.

Recipes that stand the test of time

F

ashions come and go in food, but the foundations of many recipes were laid in the past, with techniques that have stood the test of time.

Recipe books today are vastly different too, where photos are just as important as food when it comes to catching a home cook’s eye or imagination. But occasionally it’s good to look back, to check out some of those old cookbooks.

In the years of the 1930s through to the 1960s Aunt Daisy was the home cooking goddess. She had a prime radio spot most days and dished out recipes and commonsense advice for the housewife. That, of course, was in the days when mums stayed home and a big focus of their day was cooking food to keep their families fuelled.

The original Aunt Daisy cookbooks are now collectors’ items, but a modern-day version was published a few years back, updated to meet modern needs. And while it may not have been as popular as its predecessors, it’s found a ready following among cooks keen to find recipes that are economical, have been well tested and are easy to master.

ARTS DIARY

PHOTO JOSEPH JOHNSON 060615-JJ-010

Art through the eyes of an ‘outsider’ Art writer and historian Warren Feeney spoke at the first of a series of three lectures entitled Artist As Outsider in the recently-opened Ashburton Art Gallery on Saturday.

Dr Feeney addressed Michael Smither’s

works, currently hanging in the gallery, in front of a crowd of about 20 people.

Earlier this year Dr Feeney was outspoken in his criticism of Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay’s offer of the council’s artwork collection to hang during the official

opening of the museum in a letter to the Guardian. He maintained that national standards for the management of art galleries must be accepted throughout the country, to maintain integrity and respect in national and international arenas.

Wanted: Mr tall, dark and handsome ...

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Are there any tall, dark and handsome mid-20 to mid-30year-olds, with a penchant for acting, out there?

This is what the Methven Theatre Company needs to know, after it failed to fill a lead role in its upcoming production at auditions last week.

Director Georgie Sivier said that of the approximate 18 people who turned up for auditions at the Methven Heritage Centre, only two were male.

There are five male parts in the play, including two leads.

One of the men who auditioned will fill one of the leads, while the other man will play the three minor parts. The remaining lead part, for the character of Stephan DarlingSmith, remains unfilled.

Miss Sivier described the role of Stephan Darling-Smith as one of a tall, dark and handsome metro-modern man who

is extraordinarily efficient.

When he joins the law firm, all his fellow staff, who enjoy the status quo of not having to work hard, either love or hate him. As the story progresses

they find he is not as flawless as he appears, and has plenty of dark secrets.

Miss Sivier is hoping there are men out there, aged in their mid-20s to mid-30s, who would

be interested in trying out for the part. They did not necessarily need acting experience, but had to be able to commit to auditions and be open to learning. Miss Sivier can be contacted at georgie.sivier@hotmail. co.nz In the meantime, Miss Sivier is finding it difficult to cast the remaining 10 female roles due to such a lot of talent being shown at auditions.

“I came away from it feeling really excited for the show,” Miss Sivier said.

The other things she had been happy about was seeing how funny the script had proved to be at read-throughs.

“Through auditions we were always falling about laughing during the read-through.

That’s always a good sign when people are laughing right from the start,” Miss Sivier said.

A Law Unto Themselves will stage in Methven from August 19 to 22.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Team announcement soon

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury coach Grant Keenan will announce his initial Mid Canterbury squad on Sunday following the conclusion of the Combined Country Cup rugby competion the day before.

Keenan and his management team have been circulating around the grounds each weekend canvassing the talent at their disposal, which they will bring together next week.

The initial training squad will be working towards the Ranfurly Shield challenge against Hawke’s Bay in Napier on July 23.

■ GOLF

Tiger to listen more to caddie Tiger Woods plans to stop being so stubborn and start listening to his caddie more as he tries to recover from the worst round of his career at the weekend.

Woods has now had backto-back poor weekends but his game hit another low at the weekend when he carded a 13-over-par 85 at the Memorial Tournament.

“Joey (LaCava) keeps telling me this past week, he kept reminding me, ‘Man, take it easy on yourself, you haven’t played much golf,’“ Woods said.

“You never played last year and you haven’t played much this year. Tournament golf takes time.

“I hate to say it when he’s right, because as a player you always want to be right, but he is right.”

Fourteen-time major winner Woods completed four rounds at Muirfield Village in dead last place at 14-over 302.

He also endured the shame of playing as a single and having to remove his own flagsticks while his caddie was busy raking bunkers that had swallowed up Woods’ errant approach shots. His best finish this year was 17th at The Masters. He has teed it up just five times in the 2015 season, including a withdrawal from the Farmers Insurance Open in February with back problems.

On Monday, Woods officially fell to 181st in the world rankings and he is 196th place in FedEx Cup playoff points. - AFP

The Hammers will have hit outs against Ellesmere on June 30 and then an Otago XV on July 14 - both Tuesday fixtures to alleviate the strain on the continuing club season.

After the combined competition concludes on Saturday, with Methven hosting Waihora in the final, the club attentions turn immediately to the Watters Cup next week.

This year there is a five-week round-robin and then the top two sides advance straight to the final, as the Ranfurly Shield match falls where the semi-finals would have been.

The Watters Cup and the other grade finals are played on August 1 with the Mid Canterbury Heartland team – including any potential imports - announced straight afterwards.

The two-time Meads Cup champions then have two weeks

to prepare for the opening of the Heartland Championship Keenan’s first at the helm after taking over from Glenn Moore - with a Hanan Shield match at home against South Canterbury.

His first task is the coveted log of wood.

Mid Canterbury, and Keenan, will have gained plenty of valuable experience in terms of what it takes to step up to face a top flight team on their home park for the shield after last year.

Counties Manukau won 4610 in Pukekohe for Mid Canterbury’s 13th unsuccessful Ranfurly Shield challenge.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Fifita and Tupou dropped Andrew Fifita and Daniel Tupou have been dumped from the NSW side for State of Origin II for returning duo Paul Gallen and Brett Morris.

The Blues side was named yesterday for the MCG clash, with Gallen’s and Morris’ inclusions a huge boost for NSW after the pair missed the Blues’ loss in the series opener due to injury.

Sydney Roosters winger Tupou has made way for Morris, with captain Gallen’s move into the back-row pushing Josh Jackson to the bench and Fifita out of the side.

Hooker Robbie Farah is a near certain starter for the match on June 17 as he recovers from a shoulder injury suffered in Game I. “Robbie will train on Wednesday with the rest of the group,” coach Laurie Daley said after the announcement.

“It’s pretty important to go into an Origin preparation with training under your belt and Rob’s an experienced

Kiwi Danny Lee has qualified for next week’s US Golf Open. Lee has scraped through as one of the 15 qualifiers out of the Brookside course in Ohio. After being seven under through two rounds, Lee was in a tie for 13th place with five other players. Two of that group were were eliminated by the third play-off hole. Danny Lee was the 2008 US Open Amateur champion, and will play at the tournament for the first time at Chambers Bay next week.

He was named the New Zealand Super Rugby Player of the Year in 2011 and has established himself as an All Blacks regular since 2013.

Crockett said he didn’t hesitate in re-signing to stay in New Zealand.

Toomua, Speight likely for Brumbies The Brumbies are likely to field a full-strength side in Saturday’s Super Rugby showdown against the Crusaders, with both Matt Toomua and Henry Speight slated to play.

The Wallabies duo, recovering from ankle injuries, trained yesterday and are set to be given until game day in Canberra to prove their fitness.

Playmaker Toomua has

Lee qualifies

missed all but 24 minutes of the Brumbies’ last seven matches, while Speight rolled his foot early in Friday’s win over the Force.

“They’re both looking pretty good to play,” captain Stephen Moore said.

“It’ll be a huge boost to have ‘Pup’ back in the team and obviously Henry’s been playing really well the last couple of weeks.”

It’s unclear how Toomua will slide back into the squad, but halfback Nic White reckons coach Stephen Larkham will play him at inside centre and keep Christian Lealiifano at No.10.

His return is timely for the Brumbies who are fighting for a top-two spot that will earn them a week off and home semi-final.

Two-time Brownlow medallist Chris Judd called time on his celebrated AFL career with the same poise and grace that was his trademark on the field. A candid Judd spoke eloquently at a packed press conference at Princes Park yesterday and admitted he knew almost certainly that his playing days were over as soon as he crashed to the MCG turf clutching his left knee on Saturday. Judd, 31, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the first quarter of the Blues’ clash with Adelaide following a marking contest with Crows midfielder Patrick Dangerfield.

Pearce escapes ban NSW five-eighth Mitchell Pearce has escaped State of Origin suspension after submitting an early guilty plea for a tackle on Cronulla’s Michael Gordon, while Blues team-mate James Tamou can also avoid a ban if he pleads guilty. Sydney Roosters halfback Pearce was cited by the NRL match review committee for grade-one dangerous contact on Gordon in his team’s upset loss to Cronulla on Sunday. But he didn’t take his chances fighting the charge, pleading guilty yesterday.

Not so lucky is Manly forward Justin Horo, who will miss one match despite an early plea for his grade-one dangerous tackle on Brisbane’s Darius Boyd in the Broncos’ 44-10 thumping of the Sea Eagles on Friday.

Local indoor bowlers third

Southern Steel secure star import

Ashburton indoor bowlers Matt Markham and Alex Crawford finished third equal in the New Zealand Pairs Championship at the national championships in Timaru yesterday.

Playing under the banner of the Rakaia club, the pair went deep into yesterday’s competition before eventually being knocked out in the semi-final by Auckland bowlers Paul Wright and Richard Caddy.

The pair won their way through to the final four with three victories earlier in the day

including one over Markham’s brother Jeremy who was playing with Canterbury’s James Sullivan.

Out of the 170 entries in the competition, seven combinations featuring Ashburton bowlers qualified for the knockout stage of the championship.

Willowby club mates, Mat Bassett and Ken Mackenzie, were beaten by Wright and Caddy in the quarter-final but finished inside the top eight.

Darryn Turner and Shirley Fortune made it through to the

last 16 before Bassett and Mackenzie knocked them out of the competition. The Willowby pairing were also responsible for the end of Rosemary Bennett and Chris Talbot early in the day’s play.

Geoff Laird continued his good week thus far by making the final 32 with his wife Bernice while Michael Lawson and Stephen Preddy also made it to the same stage.

Grant and Fiona Wilson were knocked out in the first round of play for the day.

The event was won by defending champions, Grant l’Ami and Mike Phipps giving l’Ami his 10th national title.

Ron and Rae Inglis won the masters pairs event.

Today sees the qualifying for the triples with a number of Ashburton players in action.

This afternoon the championships will take a different twist with the running of the annual North vs South Academy and Northern and Southern Masters event in which nine Ashburton players will feature.

SBW fit and firing for Hurricanes clash The angst surrounding Sonny Bill Williams just may be unfounded.

According to the Chiefs, Williams is fit, fired up and ready to face the Hurricanes in New Plymouth on Saturday night.

And, contrary to recent reports, there has been no pressure applied by the All Blacks coaching staff, apparently anxious for the second five to sit out the remainder of the campaign and rest a troublesome back injury.

Williams has not been seen on the field since the start of May, scratched in the days leading up to his side’s first outing against the Hurricanes. The lumbar problem he suffered, initially thought of as innocuous, has since created issues elsewhere in his body and seen him miss the Chiefs’ last four matches.

It has also seen Williams’ short-term future the subject of speculation across the Tasman, with a suggestion floated last week he would play no further part in the Super Rugby season.

The All Blacks were wary of protecting their prized asset, so posited the theory, and were leaning on the Chiefs to put country ahead of club and

SBW’S INCONSISTENT SEASON ■■ With a knee injury, concussion and a back problem, Williams has not played more than three straight games.

■■ After being a late withdrawal from the team to play the Hurricanes last month, he missed the past four matches ■■ Williams has played eight of the Chiefs’ 15 games this year, racking up 592 minutes to sit 15th in the team.

Sonny Bill Williams

exclude their No12 from the forthcoming playoffs.

Not true, says Dave Rennie, with the coach insisting the plan for Williams to make his return against the Hurricanes has long been in play.

“He’s good to go,” Rennie said. “We’ve been really cautious around it. To be honest, he probably could have played last week, but we didn’t want to push that.

“He’s fired up. He was pretty keen to play last week and he reminded us that he was feeling pretty good on Saturday when we were in Brisbane.”

That final point complicates the idea Williams is an unwitting pawn in the New Zealand Rugby machine. The 29-yearold has hardly had a surplus of rugby since returning from a stint with the Sydney Roosters and, having also been limited by injury earlier in the year, surely he would be better for every minute spent on the park with the Chiefs?

“He wants to play,” Rennie said. “He’s missed a bit of rugby this year - he got a concussion at one stage, he had a bit of an issue with his knee, so he hasn’t played an enormous amount of rugby. He’s desperate to play so it’s good for us

and good for him.”

It must also, one would imagine, be good for the All Blacks.

Resting a player this far from the World Cup seems self-defeating, especially when that player appears to be sitting behind Ma’a Nonu on the depth chart.

And Rennie confirmed that, while the ever-present Sam Cane would enjoy a week off against the Hurricanes, there were no such discussions with Steve Hansen and co about restricting Williams’ role.

“We made an agreement at the start of the year that some guys would get a bit of rest,” he said. “But I wouldn’t say there’s a hell of a lot of consultation.

They’re certainly not bullying us and saying, ‘we want this and we want that’.”

The Southern Steel have secured star import Jhaniele Fowler-Reid for another two ANZ Championship seasons.

The most prolific shooter in the league this year with an average 46 goals per game, Fowler-Reid was the Steel’s top priority when looking to lock in next year’s roster, with the Jamaican international a key target for other rival syndicates.

The 1.98m shooter, who returns home to Jamaica today to join her national side in their preparations for the August World Cup, said she was eagerly anticipating a fourth season with the southern franchise.

“I’d always intended for it to be a long-term relationship but I just had to go with the flow and see what happens year in, year out,” she said.

“My first year was very cold and I thought ‘maybe this is my first year and my last year to’ but I have fallen in love with this place - it’s been really good for me and helped me be the person who I am. I feel very settled here.”

Fowler-Reid was adamant the 2015 roster would thrive if it remained intact.

“It goes hand in hand with success when you have players who not only know themselves but know each other and respect each other. That comradery within the team and how we are so honest with each other, that makes it a lot easier.”

The Steel were bundled out of the playoffs at the weekend following an 71-69 extra time loss to the Magic in the New Zealand conference elimination finals. Fowler-Reid said the result left the team hungry for higher honours.

“We are more than on the cusp. The players recruited for this year have been amazing.

We have made a mark and I’m sure next year we won’t be the underdog again because we have what it takes to win.” - NZME

10/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Actively work to create a life and make choices that make staying in a rut and in your comfort zone harder to sustain.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Look at your financial situation and money matters in a pragmatic way, taking ownership of past financial choices and actions.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Listen to what your professional instincts are telling you, but use this to start lining up for developments on the income and work fronts.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) On the income, work and career fronts have blind faith and a lot of confidence, with the money and professional gods asking for your trust.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With the push to get your professional year up to speed over, excuses for not achieving a work and play balance are called to account.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Leave the superhero outfit hanging in the closet, instead choosing to do what you can, with what you’ve got from where you’re at.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) In the Moon’s final hours in your work sector there’s a need to keep your ear to the ground, but little need to take action.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Just as income forces move into some fairly urgent days, this is a chance for one last ditch effort to find a balance between work and play while you still can.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Saturn is giving you a chance to get a better sense of where you’ve been. You can’t know where you’re going until you first know where you’ve been.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You’ll have a real edge in everything you do, with today’s stars giving you a mix of intuition, logic, imagination and intelligence to work with.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With a better read on developments behind the scenes on the income, work and career fronts, you’re more alert to the busy times ahead.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) The message from the professional gods is one that suggests you’ve got time, luck and the professional gods on your side.

Celitc’s Maara Tuare will be making his international rugby debut for the Deaf Blacks against Australia on Sunday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 080615-TM-009

Set for international debut

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Maara Tuare is a 6’3” tall, 167kg prop who has never heard the whistle.

On Sunday the 26-year-old will become a rugby international when he plays for the Deaf Blacks against the Australia Silent Knights in a one-off transTasman test in Christchurch.

Tuare goes into camp on Thursday to prepare to take on Australia for the Cochlear Cup. The quiet giant was grinning

Crockett re-signs P18

from ear to ear at the prospect of smashing some Aussies and will be hoping to impress on debut with the Deaf Blacks set for a two-test tour to Japan in November Born deaf in the Cook Islands, Tuare only moved to Ashburton in October last year.

He came to the Celtic club at the start of the season, presenting an intriguing puzzle on how to utilise the hulking prop.

One of the requirements to make the Deaf Blacks is to play

for a ‘hearing’ team and Tuare has made a few appearances for the senior As but has found a regular spot in the Celtic B team.

It was by some lucky timing that family friend Tony Vainerere went searching for a deaf team for him to play for and made contact with the Southern Zone Deaf Rugby - two weeks out from the national deaf tournament.

Presented with the blockbusting front rower, the Southern side snapped him up and two

weeks later he helped them beat the Central and Northern deaf teams to win the national title in April.

Following the three-day tournament the national team was named with Tuare in it.

Vainerere said that being born in deaf in the Cook Islands meant it was the family’s responsibility to deal with the development as they lack the facilities and resources here.

That means that Tuare knows very little sign language but he

has been getting a few lessons from his new Deaf Blacks teammates.

As for the deaf matches - of which he has only played two the referee still blows the whistle and waits for the players to realise he has made a call - with play often going for a phase or two before the players signal to each other the whistle has gone.

The test match against Australia kicks off at 1pm at Rugby Park in Christchurch.
